LOMBARD - Retired State Sen. Dale Risinger (R-Peoria) has announced he is switching his support and endorsement from Dan Rutherford to Kirk Dillard in the GOP gubernatorial primary.
Risinger follows former State Rep. Jim Sacia (R-Freeport), who threw his support to Dillard over the weekend.
"I have known and worked with Senator Dillard for many years. He has the experience, the understanding of how government should work, and the ethics to lead Illinois to become the great state we once had when Jim Edgar was our Governor," said Risinger. "Today, I am asking all Illinois Republicans to vote for Senator Dillard and to work to help him become our next Governor."
